Description
With a core audience of gameboys and hot-rodders aged 25 and under, xXx 2 is the kind of action movie that requires literally no thought to enjoy. With Vin Diesels original character just killed in Bora Bora (for details, see the uncensored unrated directors cut of xXx), Ice Cube steps in to play bad-ass, and the whole franchise takes on a hip-hop edge thats almost admirably absurd. The asinine plot is anarchy in Washington, D.C., as an insanely hawkish Secretary of State (Willem Dafoe) plots a Capitol coup just as the President (Peter Strauss, playing it straight) is giving his state-of-the-union address. All of this is prefaced by Cubes recruitment as a former Navy SEAL turned new-xXx, escaping from jail (Dafoes character put him there), hooking up with an old flame who runs a chop-shop full of the worlds hottest wheels, and reuniting with his old commander (Samuel L. Jackson) for a bullet-train climax that feels like Mission Impossible Lite. You could argue that Diesels the smartest guy in the franchise for cashing out early, but xXx 2 gets the job done in passable fashion, with action veteran Lee Tamahori delivering the goods while he waits for a grown-up script to come along. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
